This memorial is so pretty! While the tablet itself is beautifully etched, the base and sub-base that it sits on makes it truly stand out. 

Placing one monument on two bases (referred to as a base and a sub-base), is a beautiful way to add height and texture to any memorial tablet. 

To dress the memorial up we chose a sub-base with a soft, polished scotia to complement the soft curvature of the tablet up above. This memorial weighs over 5,000 pounds and required skilled and careful handing throughout the entire process. 

This memorial is made of five pieces of solid black granite- the tablet (top), the sub-base (middle base), the base (bottom), and two flower pots.
